I post this with as little passion for poker as I think I've ever had. It's basically just a copy > paste from two emails I've sent to Derek over the past week or so. It makes me feel happy that I'm so busy with work and I've hardly had a minute to myself (when I'd end up playing online).
(from Sun 19th Oct)
lol, (I laugh but could easily cry)
I've just played the £2.65 Sky Qualifier and come 8th of 10. With an M of 9 and with QQ I call from UTG (I've played KK and TT strongly so I'm mixing it up). SB makes it up and BB min-raises to 400. I pop it up now to 800, SB folds, BB calls. Flop comes AAA and SB checks it to me. With 1600 in the pot and with 2000 behind I'm shoving with my FH. BB calls with ATo - obviously! This is NOT a moan. I got them in bad, was outplayed by my opponent and was well and truly violated by Sky Poker but they were gettin shipped in here 100% of the time.
...
I'm keen to get back onto some proper felt but work is hectic and lack of free time / family time is annoying me. Life tilt in some ways I suppose.
(From email sent moments ago, Thurs 23rd Oct)
I don't know how you get HHs on Sky but I could give you a laugh if I can find out ...
I just played a £2 sat (5 players, 1 sat seat) ...
2nd Hand I'm dealt AA. All folds round to me on SB so I make it up. BB raises to 150, I reraise to 320, he shoves for 60BBs, I call (correct play? ;) ) and he has A8o. My As hold up and he's down to 80 chips.
Blinds 50/100, I'm dealt KTs on BB I call SBs raise to 300. Flop comes 47T and SB pushes for 2,200. I call and he shows 44 for trips. WHO PLAYS TRIPS THAT WAY??? If I can bring myself to ever take to a poker table again, I will!!
Last hand of my tourney, QQ with 2,700 behind. I raise UTG to 600, button shoves, I call. He flips over A6o. Board runs AK6 A x
No poker passion taken from that game at all. The guy behind me who had 80 chips after his donk-shove on 2nd hand was CL.
Ye just cannae buy entertainment like that!

Taking a break sounds good and I'm glad to hear you’re busy with work.
We should still get together for a live game sometime.
Oh and I hope my replies to your e-mails weren’t to harsh ;-)
Neil, I know your a good player and the ONLY reason your frustrated is your playing too low.....
The bankroll stuff is ONLY if your playting poker full time ie u need 30 buy ins etc....
you have a job so rather than grind low stakes why not play say once a week play instead of going out. play a 50 - 150 dollar freezeout or 1/2 2/4 blinds and at least u will get a game u can beat and play better players....
trust me, albeit one week my roll is 2k next weeks its 25 pence but at least its good players who bust me or get lucky in the end lol
that will def bring ur enjoyment back, the great texas dolly says that if he plays too low u want finf#d a bigger donk
